Senior Software Architect, Humanoid Robotics

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Architect for Humanoid Robotics to advance the Isaac solution and GR00T blueprint. This role involves developing and optimizing control stacks, deploying neural network models in simulation and on real hardware, and designing teleoperation software. The architect will also implement tools for robot maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, and collaborate on model training, data processing, and MLOps lifecycle within a highly collaborative research team.

Must Have

• Develop and optimize the control stack, including locomotion, manipulation, and whole-body control algorithms.
• Deploy and evaluate neural network models in physics simulation and on real humanoid hardware.
• Design and maintain teleoperation software for controlling humanoid robots.
• Implement tools and processes for regular robot maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.
• Monitor teleoperators and develop quality assurance workflows for data collection.
• Collaborate with researchers on model training, data processing, and MLOps lifecycle.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of full-time industry experience in robotics hardware or software full-stack.
• Hands-on experience with deploying and debugging neural network models on robotic hardware.
• Ability to implement real-time control algorithms, teleoperation stack, and sensor fusion.
• Proficiency in Python, C++, ROS, and physics simulation (Gazebo, Mujoco, Isaac).
• Experience in maintaining and troubleshooting robotic systems.
• Physically work on-site on all business days.

Good to Have

• Master’s or PhD’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience at humanoid robotics companies on real hardware deployment.
• Experience in robot hardware design.
• Demonstrated Tech Lead experience, coordinating a team and driving projects.
